miomektomia

Miomektomia is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids, also known as myomas. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. Miomektomia specifically targets the removal of these fibroids while preserving the uterus, making it a common option for women who wish to maintain their fertility. The decision to perform a miomektomia is usually based on the presence of symptoms caused by the fibroids, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, or infertility.

The surgical approach can vary. It can be performed through an abdominal incision (abdominal miomektomia), using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy or robotic surgery where small incisions are made, or through the vagina and cervix (hysteroscopic miomektomia) for fibroids located inside the uterine cavity. The choice of technique depends on the size, number, and location of the fibroids, as well as the patient's overall health. Recovery time and potential risks differ depending on the method used. While miomektomia can alleviate symptoms and improve fertility, there is a possibility of fibroid recurrence. Complications, though rare, can include bleeding, infection, or damage to surrounding organs.
